The railroad building of the year pro-
sents some interesting features. So far
q, 42 miles Of new track have been laid in
1851, record never before surpassed ex.
cept in 1882. or this amount 49l miles have
been built in Dakota. $50 miles in Nebraska.
LISA miles in Kansas, 443 miles in the In
dian Territory and g65 miles in Texas, or q
total OF 1919 miles in q comparatively mar
row belt OF country, extending from Da-
kota to Texas. In all the States and Ter.
ritories west OF the Mississippi 1854 miles
have been built, as against only l,49S miles
in all the States east OF the Mississippi.
1t is but natural that most of the new
building should be in the newer
sections OF the country. The older
States are already provided with railroad
facilities. They are intersected by railway
lines in every direction. SO that almost
every county has one or more railroads
running through It's borders. The new
building in these sections is limited 10
short connecting links or branches for
feeders to main lines. In the new States
and Territories Of the West there are vast
regions which are without railway facili-
ties. Rival lines are anxious to gain the
first occupancy Of the field, so as to hold it
against the time when settlement and dc.
velopment will furnish profitable bust.
